Fantasy football injuries are perfect for making NFL expert picks against the spread and we have the ultimate NFL injury report.

Chargers-Raiders

Darren McFadden, the Raiders rookie sensation RB is questionable with a toe injury, but Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com says he will start. He will not get his full workload though. This is key because fellow RB Justin Fargas is out. Michael Bush is the only other tailback.

Oakland is going to be short-handed on defense as starters Nnamdi Asomugha, Derrick Burgess, and Gerald Warren are all banged up. The Bolts LaDainian Tomlinson is close to 100 percent, but remember he is off a short week because of playing Monday night to the Jets.

Eagles-Bears

There are a ton of injuries for tonight. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb will play, but star running back Brian Westbrook is considered questionable to doubtful.

The Bears DT Tommie Harris will be a game time decision. He is less likely to play than return man Devin Hester and WR Brandon Lloyd, both also considered game time decisions. This game is one of four NFL Wise Guy plays from the top betting service of all-time GodsTips. They are 8-1 for the year with regular season NFL Wise Guy plays.

49ers-Saints

This game is one of GodsTips four Wise Guy plays. The Saints will be without TE Jeremy Shockey.

Cardinals-Jets

Jets QB Brett Favre is listed as questionable but will start. CB Justin Miller missed the first three games for the Jets but is a game time decision to return.

Texans-Jaguars

The Jags will likely be without two defensive starters, S Reggie Nelson and LB Justin Durant. Also out C Brad Meester and G Crhis Naeole.

RBs Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor are probable and WR Jerry Porter will make his much anticipated debut. Washed up RB Ahman Green may be available but rookie Steve Slaton gets the start for the Texans.

Bills-Rams

The Rams will have to avoid sundry distractions and head coach Scott Linehan attempting to save his job, benched QB Marc Bulger and will start aged Trent Green. Star RB Steven Jackson expressed discontent at the move. Jackson, by the way, should be at full-speed for the first time all year.

Packers-Buccaneers

The Packers are without one of their most valuable defensive players CB Al Harris. “Considering he played 83 straight games, it would be foolish to underestimate the impact of this injury,” says the world’s top NFL betting expert Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com.

They will also be without S Atari Bigby. However RB Ryan Grant will be as healthy as he has been any game this season.

Vikings-Titans

Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson is listed on the injury report, but NFL insider Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says he will play.

Browns-Bengals

Cincinnati‘s overrated QB Carson Palmer will play, but he has a sore elbow. Browns WR Braylon Edwards was limited early in the week in practice but will play and practiced fully Friday.

The NFL stages its Week 4 on Sunday, while baseball concludes its regular-season schedule. This week’s NFL trends, free NFL expert pick and NFL betting odds are up.  

Here’s a glimpse at the action in today’s edition of the Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans, Broncos, Bills, and Cowboys will all be looking to run their records to 4-0 on Sunday when they take to the field. Tennessee and Dallas are both favored at home in their games; the Titans are favored by 3 points against the Vikings, while the Cowboys will be looking to cover an 11-point spread against the Redskins. The Broncos and Bills are both road favorites; it’s Denver (-10) at Kansas City, and Buffalo (-8) at St. Louis.

At the other end of the standings, the 0-3 Bengals will play host to the 0-3 Browns on Sunday afternoon. The loser of that AFC North matchup will be in a huge hole in the playoff race, and the oddsmakers have given the Bengals the 3.5-point edge to win.

Other Sunday afternoon matchups include San Francisco at New Orleans (-5), Arizona at the Jets (-1), Green Bay at Tampa Bay (-1), Atlanta at Carolina (-6.5), and Houston at Jacksonville (-7). As well, the 1-2 Chargers will be looking to get their record back to the .500 mark when they take on the 1-2 Raiders in Oakland as big 7.5-point road favorites.

Rounding out the Sunday NFL schedule will be Philadelphia at Chicago at 8:15pm ET. The Eagles are 2-1 in the tight NFC East, while the Bears have struggled to a 1-2 record on the season. And even though this game is being played at Soldier Field the Eagles have been pegged as the 3-point favorites, with the total listed at 40 points.

The sports betting market is thriving even if WaMu, Bank of America, Wachovia and others are failing you. Now only the sportsbooks need to be bailed out? Why?

GodsTips clients have made a bloody fortune since preseason. We are 8-1 in the regular season with Wise Guy plays. You have a season high four NFL Wise Guy plays today and six Majors.

California Vulcans Ready to Win PSAC

What’s this about? Just a cheap attempt of Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy to brag that his alma mater, the California Vulcans beat their chief rival, the Indiana PA Indians, expect the sissies they are, they don’t even call themselves Indians anymore.

Back to Division 1 or the FBS, whatever it’s called. Penn State football is back, but the USC Trojans, Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators await to see how far they’ve dropped in the college football polls. Regardless, the opening college football odds will be up later today and OffshoreInsiders.com will have them.

Other Notable Events

The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will hit the track at Kansas Speedway on Sunday afternoon for the Camping World RV 400 presented by Coleman. Greg Biffle has won each of the first two Chase events, and he’ll be trying to make it three in a row on Sunday. Biffle and Johnson are tied for second place in the current driver standings, 10 points back of Carl Edwards. Jeff Burton and Kevin Harvick are sitting fourth and fifth.

Biffle won the series’ event at Kansas last season, and he’s tied with Johnson, Edwards, and Kyle Busch as the 6/1 Vegas favorite to take the checkered flag on Sunday. Tony Stewart, who won the Banquet 400 at Kansas back in 2006, is pegged at 11/1 odds to visit victory lane. Two-time Kansas champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 15/1.

The Rest of the Schedule

The NL Wild Card berth is still in play, with the Mets and Brewers now tied in that race. Milwaukee will send CC Sabathia (10-2, 1.78 ERA in the NL) to the mound at home against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon, while Oliver Perez (10-7, 4.25 ERA) will try to pitch the Mets past the Marlins at home at the same time. If those teams are still tied at the end of the day on Sunday they’ll play a one-game playoff Monday in New York.

Also still to be decided is the AL Central title, with the White Sox and Mark Buehrle (14-12, 3.87 ERA) hosting Cleveland on Sunday, and the Twins and Scott Baker (10-4, 3.59 ERA) getting a visit from Kansas City. Minnesota has a half-game lead on Chicago in the division, and they can clinch top spot with a win Sunday combined with a White Sox loss. However, if Chicago is still a half-game back after Sunday they’ll play a makeup game with the Tigers on Monday. Should the Twins and White Sox be tied in the standings after that Monday contest they’ll play a one-game playoff on Tuesday.

As well, the Yankees will have Mike Mussina (19-9, 3.47 ERA) trying for his 20^th win of the season when they play at Fenway Park in Boston on Sunday afternoon, so they’ll be pulling out all the stops to try and get him to that mark for the first time in his career. New York and Boston will actually play twice on Sunday thanks to Saturday’s rainout.

The WNBA playoffs will continue on Sunday afternoon, with New York at Detroit in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and Los Angeles at San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. New York holds a 1-0 lead in their three-game set, while San Antonio pulled out a victory on Saturday afternoon to tie up that series at 1-1.

Finally, the CFL concludes its week on Sunday with Saskatchewan at Montreal (-6.5), while the PGA Tour wraps up its playoffs on the final day of THE TOUR Championship.

News from the Wire

Notable players listed as OUT for Sunday’s NFL games heading into the weekend: Arizona DE Bert Berry (groin), Browns S Sean Jones (knee), Dallas S Roy Williams (forearm), Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle (right shoulder), Saints WR Marques Colston (thumb) and TE Jeremy Shockey (hernia), Jets K Mike Nugent (right thigh), Raiders RB Justin Fargas (groin), Rams WR Drew Bennett (foot), Buccaneers WR Joey Galloway (foot), Titans QB Vince Young (knee/hamstring), and Redskins DE Jason Taylor (calf).

A Peek at the Future

A slow Monday in sports will be highlighted by the matchup of the Ravens and Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Steelers opened as 7-point home favorites in that contest, but that line has since fallen to just 5 points (with the total pegged at 34 points) . . .  as well, there will be a Game 3 in the WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals in Detroit on Monday night if the Shock manage to knock off the Liberty in their Sunday afternoon matchup.

Entertainment Betting

What will Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live do next in mocking Sarah Palin? We expect BetUs Sportsbook will have more and more SNL proposition bets.

The lipstick of Rachel McAdams and death of Paul Newman are grabbing the headlines, but Dancing With the Stars dominates the Hollywood and entertainment betting odds.

Brooke Burke at +200 is the favorite to win Dancing With the Stars, but she’s followed closely by Toni Braxton, Cody Linley, Susan Lucci, Misty May-Treanor all at +400.

Not far behind at +500 is Warren Sapp and Lance Bass. The aforesaid Hollywood and entertainment betting odds have prop bets as well on Tom DeLay, Dan Rather, George Clooney, Wheel of Fortune, Heath Ledger and other actors in Batman-The Dark Knight.
